I've been browsing the forums and haven't really found a recent thread to answer them... I got the S3 about 2 days ago, switching from the MyTouch 4G Slide... here are some complications I've had so far..
Most annoyingly, my notification volume. Using the rocker only changes the ringer volume. Yes, I know you can hit the cog to set the rest of them, too.. but what a pain. Is there a way to make it so the rocker changes the volume of all notifications (ringer, text and email notifications etc) to the same level? Obviously, if I want my ringer volume down saaaay.. when I'm at work.. wouldn't I also want the text notification to be lowered, too?
EDIT: I found an app that links the two together
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ar.quicksettings&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
On a related note, I've noticed that regardless of what the notification volume is set to.. its LOUD. I have it on the lowest volume setting without it being on vibrate or silent and its still ridiculously loud. Maybe its the sounds I have chosen? I imported my notification sounds from my old phone (change is hard) Could this be the problem?
EDIT: Still seems to be louder than I'd like it to be..
Just a general gripe, the swype-ish-like feature for text input is AWFUL. My old phone was accurate more often than not but this one is terrible. I don't really like using it. Is there a replacement program I might be able to use to make it a little better?
If there are already answers to my questions (and I'm sure there are and I just can't find them) please point me in the right direction..
thanks!
